<p>[QUOTE="Jim Dale, post: 24843427, member: 100459"]I didn't start collecting coins until my father passed and left his "coin collection" to my brother and me. There was an equitable division. When my brother got his collection of coins, he left them in the jar that my father had kept them in. However, when I started looking at the coins, I knew I was over my head. Thankfully, a local coin store, helped me get started. His first recommendation was to get the Red Book and red it front to back and then read it again. I was about 65 than. That was 11 years ago. I caught the "bug" and have learned alot from this web page and from reading several books. I got a lot of books for free from coin collectors and dealers. I have enjoyed what I do with my coins. I really like to collect the American Liberty gold and silver coins.</p><p>Anyway, I got a letter today from the Mint apologizing for sending the wrong Certificate of Authenticity for the 2023 American Liberty Silver Medal.
